I am a kindergarten teacher at an inner-city school. I am privileged to work with 28 amazing children who are eager to learn and use any learning tools they are given. My students have a tremendous amount of learning to do this upcoming year, and most of it happens from repetition and practice.
My students like to read, participate, and ask questions!
Working as an elementary teacher in a low-income and high-poverty inner-city district is challenging itself. These pandemic years have been very difficult for our families and students.
My students face several challenges, both in and out of the classroom. Whichever challenge they meet, I strive to provide my students with the creative and meaningful learning experiences they deserve!
My Project
Heavy rain came down and ruined our comfortable learning rug. We used it for morning meetings, brain breaks, and more. We are in dire need of a new one! My students will be able to read while sitting on a new rug where it is comfortable and safe for them to sit. For students who have ADHD or any learning disorders, having a simple secure area to go sit at and read during Centers is crucial. The change of scenery and comfort aids in reading and staying focused. They will learn to model this reading habit practiced in our Classroom Library at home! They will become empowering kindergarten readers!
This will improve my students' lives by making them confident, comfortable, and happy so effective learning can take place!
Being able to read somewhere where it is not a desk or a table is a vital ability my students need to be successful in their school and classroom.
Thank you for supporting my students by knocking down the barrier to resources that is necessary for their success!
I very much appreciate your consideration in this matter and sincerely hope you will view my request favorably and provide the requisite funds.
